Fancy flinging yourself out of an aeroplane to help raise funds for the dedicated industry charity? If so, the Rainy Day Trust is recruiting volunteers for its annual parachute jump in September.
The sponsored jump will take place on Sunday, September 22, 2013 at the British Army Parachute Association training centre at Netheravon, Wiltshire - right in the middle of the MOD's training facilities on Salisbury Plain.
Industry volunteers will jump - with a qualified instructor - from around 14,000 ft, starting their descent with a 50-second, 120 mph freefall before the tandem parachute is deployed. This is then followed by a five-minute canopy ride. Organisers and previous jumpers describe it as an exhilarating, not-to-be-missed, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This will be the third time the Rainy Day Trust has held the event, which has raised almost £28,000 over the last two years.
